I've been trying to follow the Vogella tutorials for plugin development with Luna but I'm having problems adding plugin dependencies. When I try to add a required plugin nothing appears in the plugin list other than my own project. I'm currently working with the Luna 4.4.2 SDK but I had the same problems with other Luna packages (RCP and JEE). I tried using Kepler and it works fine so the problem appears to be only with Luna. Is there some required (undocumented?) setup step for Luna plugin development that I'm overlooking?

Solved. The problem was due to my Java installations - but only on my Windows workstations. I sometimes support older projects so I am required to have older versions of the JDK installed. In this case, even though the JAVA_HOME and PATH settings were pointing to the JDK/JRE 8 locations, Eclipse Luna was dazed and confused (Kepler seems to be more forgiving/stable). I removed all JDK/JRE installations on each of my Windows workstations and then installed only the latest JDK 8. Afterward, Luna is happy and everything shows up fine when adding plugin dependencies. My MacBook Pro also has multiple JDK installations but did not exhibit this problem.
